Couldn’t this be made into a bake?
that was picked this morning from my neighbour's allotment ansbleft at my door so mean excuse to.use half of it. Same thing just bigger and so much cheaper - in my case home grown and free! So I did everything except I chopped the courgettes instead of fiddling with roll-ups and I put them into the mixture. I used 40g best back bacon fried with the mushrooms as I had that and wasn't going out in the rain to buy 100g of processed chorizo to get 40g. I couldn't face anymore fat so didn't use the mayonnaise on my green salad leaves. I have a vegetarian friends so would just miss out the meat. Delicious!
Yes, this should freeze well.
